This ancient residence, known as Il Castello di Vezzo, offers an authentic glimpse into history, nestled in the hills of Stresa near the picturesque shores of Lago Maggiore. Located in the village of Vezzo, a district of Gignese, this 16th-century home invites you to step back in time with its old fortress walls and the Visconti frieze welcoming you at the entrance.

The property spans three floors, including an attic, with spacious rooms and a charming private garden. Upon entry, two grand halls, one featuring a mezzanine, greet you, setting a tone of historical prestige. The large, historical fireplaces add warmth and charm, invoking the ambiance of days gone by. The ground floor also includes two kitchens, a study, two bathrooms, and a storage room for added convenience.

The first floor houses three large bedrooms, a panoramic balcony, two bathrooms, a hallway, and a walk-in closet, providing both functionality and comfort. The second floor features two additional bedrooms and another bathroom. The attic level offers two versatile rooms, perfect for living spaces, relaxation, or entertaining guests. Another bathroom ensures comfort on this floor.

Outside, there is access to a 60-square-meter cellar with barrel vaults, adding a rustic touch to the property. The beautiful garden and a large garage, which could be transformed into a tavern, complete the property, providing ample outdoor space to enjoy sunny days.

Though in good condition overall, some updates to the bathrooms and technical installations are needed, particularly the two-boiler methane heating system.

Il Castello di Vezzo offers a rare opportunity to own a historic residence surrounded by the natural beauty of the Stresa hills, promising a unique and unforgettable living experience for its fortunate owners.
